Salon reception desk

A salon reception desk is the front counter where clients check in, book and pay, and where the register and retail often sit. It usually faces the door, with storage, a cash drawer and cable openings behind the counter.

Where a counter serves the public, the 2010 ADA Standards call for a section at least 36 inches long and no more than 36 inches high, with clear floor space beside it for a parallel approach. Keep the walkway past it at least 36 inches wide. Buy-Rite Beauty notes many desks ship assembled, so measure doorways first.

The salon floor plan maker has a 72 by 30 inch desk, a 48 by 24 inch small desk, waiting chairs and a sofa. See how much space a salon chair needs and space between salon stations.
